I thought it would be fun to start the year addressing some questions that many people have about the universe. Mind you, some of these are far from simple, true to what Milan Kundera once wrote, “the only truly serious questions are the ones that even a child can formulate.”

I’m inclined to think we’re within a multiverse. Thinking there’s just one is like that whole “the world is flat” belief. Also if there’s so much we’ve manipulated, it would suggest that nature can manipulate itself well over a three dimensional reality and the “rules” of physics.
